Meet author Katy Hessel

Meet art historian and best-selling author Katy Hessel. The first ten registrants will receive a free copy of Hessel's book The Story of Art Without Men.

Discover the glittering Sofonisba Anguissola of the Renaissance, the radical work of Harriet Powers in the nineteenth-century USA, and the artist who really invented the Readymade. Explore the Dutch Golden Age, the astonishing work of postwar artists in Latin America, and the women artists defining art in the 2020s. Have your sense of art history overturned, and your eyes opened to many art forms often overlooked or dismissed. From the Cornish coast to Manhattan, Nigeria to Japan this is the history of art as it's never been told before.

Admission is always free for anyone under 18, RISD Museum members, the RISD community and faculty, staff, and students of College & University museum members (Brown, Bryant, CCRI, JWU, PC, RIC, RWU, Wheaton, URI)
